Casting news For Once Upon A Time

Great news!!!! I think he will be a nice addition.

Exclusive: Once Upon a Time Crowns Richard Schiff as Snow
White's Royal Father

Matt Webb Mitovich

Having previously served under
President Bartlett, Richard Schiff will soon lord over a
dominion of his own — on Once Upon a Time.
TVLine has learned exclusively that the Emmy-winning West
Wing alum will guest star on ABC’s fantastical freshman
series as the Enchanted Forest’s King Leopold, who also happens
to be Snow White’s father.

While I shan’t reveal much more here,
fairy tale enthusiasts can probably predict who this king will
be wed to when we meet him in Episode 11. But what you very well
might not know is what character’s somewhat tragic
(yet thoroughly romantic) backstory he will figure into.

Schiff’s most recent TV credits include The Cape, Criminal
Minds: Suspect Behavior and an upcoming episode of NBC’s
Up All Night (playing the father of another pretty
princess, Christina Applegate).Once Upon a Time will re-air its pilot this Sunday at
7/6c, leading into Episode 2 at 9 pm.
